These Colorful Paintings Capture Submerged Swimmers in a Pool

These stunning underwater paintings by artist Samantha French capture half submerged swimmers in a pool. French's brightly colored art works are incredibly realistic and make observers want to go for a nice summer dip.

These playful pool paintings were apparently inspired by Samantha's swim-filled summers growing up. One of these lovely summer inspired paintings features one swimmer gently floating backward while another dives to the bottom of the pool. In another of these gorgeous underwater paintings someone coming up to the surface for air as bubbles escape their partially closed mouth.
